Domination

Like Ramses VIII, little is known about himself and his reign. The highest known year of his reign is year 3. It is documented by the necropolis diary of Deir el-Medina . His vizier was supposedly Chaemwaset . There are no monuments to his rule. His successor is his son Ramses XI.

Tomb

In contrast to Ramses VIII, Ramses X. has a grave in the Valley of the Kings ( KV18 ), which, however, remained unfinished and was flooded with rubble. It was fully excavated and documented in two campaigns from 1998 to 2000. Nothing is known about items from the grave equipment and the mummy .
